AuthorTopic: [SOLVED] - Sound card problem (Read 2827 times)

Maybe someone can help me with my soundcard problem. I've tried the latest 5.9 and everthing works fine except sound via internal speakers on my laptop. I get sound when headset is plugged in so that is fine. The sound is only working perfectly in ubuntu 7.10 (this is the only linux distro where sound is working fine) and windows and if i downgrade my bios to first release wich is not an option.

I would like to buy VL cd's but i would like to get my sound to work proberly. Someone in another forum told me that i needed to add 3stack_dig to model in soundcard but it did'nt help. I'm not able to provide any info from my system right now because i run win xp atm. Could provide SIW output tho. The soundcard driver in linux is snd_hda_intel and as I said before every thing else is working fine.

Hopefully there someone that had or have a similar problem that can help me with this.

as root: init 2 then: modprobe -r snd-hda-intel && modprobe snd-hda-intel model=3stack-digThen i could play mp3 and adjust all volume settings like bass, treble and volume.

You can also do this in a terminal from desktop: as root: /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa stop and then do the above command and then /etc/rc.d/rc.alsa start and it should work. At least for me. To get this to work from boot add this line to rc.local found in /etc/rc.d/

Thanks for reply but as said in post i'm not able to provide a lspci or lsusb coz i dont have linux installed. Only windows. I'm considering installing linux again just to have a linux system running while trying to figure out why sound doesnt work proberly.

If you look at my sign you'll see what kind off laptop i have. But here you go My laptop: Fujitsu siemens Amilo XA1526, Turion64 X2, 2 x 320 wd scorpio sata disks, 4 gb ram, 7600Go, 256 with 1440x900 res. When it comes to soundcard it is a Realtek High Definition Audio soundcard. I know the output channel aint muted. As I said it works perfectly in ubuntu 7.10

It's a shame that even laptops that high-spec come with those bloody intel hda abominations, it sure looks like the perfect computer otherwise..

I agree with that and even worse it is a sis163u wifi card in this lappy. But I never had any problems with neither connections or speed using ndiswrapper so I'm happy with that for now. But back to audio:) There are 3 speakers onboard. 2 on top and one sub(Harman Kardon i think) so it's pretty good sound when they work:). Only in Ubuntu 7.10 I can adjust the volume on sub and speakers seperatly. This dosnt work on older versions of ubuntu or any other distro.

Try one of the LiveCD's and see if things work for you. You will be able to run those commands then.

Yeah i know i can load ubuntu live and show the output but thats a working system. I'll get back with that when i got VL running again. Missing one drive that is in the shop for testing. It is easier to fix something that doesn't work than trying to fix something on a system that works like it should.
